There are stories that remind us just how strong the human spirit can be. After a painful divorce, a devastating motorcycle accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury, and a battle with alcoholism, today’s guest reached a point where he believed there was no way forward. Following a suicide attempt that left him blind and deaf in one ear, he somehow survived.

Most people would assume that was the end of the story. It wasn’t.

Today, Zach Tidwell is an author, motivational speaker, and podcast host using his experiences to encourage others who are struggling to believe that life can still have meaning after unimaginable loss. In this conversation, we discuss trauma, addiction, resilience, healing, purpose, and what it really takes to rebuild a life one step at a time.

If you or someone you know is struggling, know that help is available and that recovery is possible.

Voting alone hasn't been enough and people are finally asking why. In this episode, I sit down with Rodney Glover, a gubernatorial candidate who's running on a bold idea: giving citizens constitutional, binding authority to hold elected officials accountable beyond the ballot box.

This is where real issues meet real change:

• Why voting every few years isn't real accountability
• How power drifted away from the people
• What citizen-led oversight could actually look like and why it's important
• The difference between symbolic reform and structural change
• Why this race isn't about left versus right, it's about control versus consent

This is a conversation about who actually holds power and how that could actually change.

We're constantly told that we need to get out and vote to make a difference, yet it's not about the voting numbers this time around as much as it's about who we're listening to, who we're trusting with our voices and our lives, and if we decide it's time to break away from the same old system that's not working for the people.

Join the conversation. Question everything. Change the game.

Where does our money actually go?

I'm talking - Taxes. Insurance. Medical bills. Loans. Interest. Fees.

Every month your paycheck gets drained before it even hits your hand - and most Americans have no idea how deep the system goes.

This episode of From Dirt We Grow breaks down the real money trail in our country:

• Why working-class citizens pay the most
• How healthcare and insurance became legal rackets
• How loans and interest keep you trapped for life
• How tax dollars are diverted away from the people
• How the system quietly profits from your struggle

This isn't about bad budgeting or personal responsibility, it's about the system engineered to keep 60% of Americans financially stuck while corporations and the wealthy thrive.

Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck? Confused about where your hard-earned money goes? Ready for the true thieves behind the legal financial trap we're kept in to be revealed? Regardless of the reason you're here, you're in the right place; and this is the episode for you.
